Object Dock Positioning on Two Monitors
Friday, February 8, 2008 by pmulcahy11b | Discussion: ObjectDock
I am using Object Dock on Vista Home Premium, and two monitors. The primary is on the left, and the secondary on the right. Is there some way to dock the Object Dock to the right side -- the right side of the secondary monitor (i.e. all the way to the right)? I can easily dock it on the right side of the primary, but not the secondary.

I do have OD Plus. I can simply drag it to the right edge of the secondary monitor -- but it only stays there until I reboot, restart, or turn the computer back on, at which point it goes back to the primary monitor (whatever edge I specified in Dock Settings), and I have to drag it back to the right edge of the secondary monitor. I'll admit that's sort of a nit-noy kind of thing, but I'd like my computer to boot up with Object Dock in the place I want it to be.
Maybe a product suggestion for future iterations of Object Dock...?

It works for me with the free objectdock... go to positioning and select 'display2' from the combobox

Weird...I don't have any kind of combobox under Positioning, or anywhere else that allows that. I think I've been shorted!

There is no combo box for tabbed docks. You just drag them to where you want. I don't know why yours is moving back to monitor 1 at reboot. I have a tabbed dock on monitor 2, and it stays put. You nay need to contact [email protected]

If you are using Plus, the "Pay" version, to move a tabbed dock just click on a tab and drag the dock to the edge you want it to be on. It will tend to "suck to / stick to" the nearest edge on the way, but just keep pulling on it until it gets where you want it.
If you are using Plus, the "Pay" version, to put an untabbed dock on the secondary monitor, go into "Configure Docks", click "My Docs" button, double-click on the dock you want to position. In the new window which appears, click on "Positioning". At the top of window will be "Positioning" and "Edge of screen", right drop down menu will select "On monitor Display1" or "...Display2".
